Did you find what the problem was with the paint. Got the same repair to do on my 1975 S3.....bought it new when I was 23. I will prob brush paint mine is I can still find a supplier of polyurethane paint that I can easy thin down.
I cant say for sure. The paint was partly to blame I think, it was very sensitive to contamination. The of course the othe problem was probably bad prep and contamination. I scratched the surface and tried again and all was well the second time round.
@@lozl I did think surface contamination but thought....no you look like your doing a thorough job. What did you do about the missing radius. Can I ask where you got your repair section. I have seen a guy on Facebook...Welding Wood...he does them.
@@nickaxe771 Nick, you're too kind! But yeah I think I just hadn't preped it well enough. I left the gard Edge, I didn't make it match the radius of the original as it was all covered by the grill. I'm afraid I'm not sure where that came from.... I got a lot of bits from paddocks. If they have one on there then I believe that's likely where I got it from.

Don’t get too disheartened, you’re doing a great job
Thanks Tim, that's very kind. Man that was dissapointing but I have since picked myself up:)
Someone needs a sandblaster!
Oh man, wouldn't that be nice!
